Gerard Butler lived up to his cheeky reputation on Tuesday while sight-seeing in Sydney, by turning the tables on local paparazzi.

The Scottish actor was playing tourist when he decided to started photographing the snappers.

The 44-year-old Hollywood heartthrob is making the most of Australia's warm weather ahead of filming Gods of Egypt, which also stars Geoffrey Rush and Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.

After a weekend of hen's party crashing, the P.S. I Love You star took to the tourist hot spot ofSydney Harbour solo.

The rugged star wore a white button up shirt with khaki cargo shorts which fell below his knees and kept his piercing blue eyes hidden under a pair of large aviator shades.

His black sneakers looked a little worse for wear as he traipsed around the harbour foreshore.

Butler has been in Australia for two weeks and has left a bevy of star struck women in his wake.

On Saturday the handsome hunk stumbled across a hens party and asked to join in.

Dragana Ogorelica, a close friend of the bride, said they got the shock of their lives when they saw the 300 star standing on the boat they hired for the day.

When the girls arrived at the dock, they expected a fun day out on Sydney Harbour, but the manager of the boat hire company said he had a surprise waiting for them.Tourist: The PS I Love You star spent Tuesday afternoon checking out the sights of Sydney Harbour

‘We thought it was a stripper, because it was a hen’s party. But then we saw [Gerard] standing on the boat. We all just started screaming,’ said Dragana.

She reported that the actor called down to the girls: ‘Is this a hen’s party? Can I join? We’re going to dance a little bit, drink a little bit.’

Gerard Butler then told his management they could leave because he was going to stay and party with the girls.

The actor gave the bride-to-be a long hug, complimented her, and said her future husband was ‘a really lucky guy, whoever he is.’

Dragana said that the bride, Maja Nogic, who is a big fan of the actor, was ecstatic.Movie star: He's making the most of the city's warm weather ahead of filming Gods of Egypt, which also stars Geoffrey Rush and Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau

As Gerard was hugging Maja, her groom was on his buck’s weekend. The girls texted him to say they had met the star.

He replied: ‘That’s it, I’m going to go and find Jennifer Hawkins.’ He then told his fiancée that he would understand if she ran off with Butler.

‘His accent, oh my goodness, it was so beautiful. You couldn’t understand him half the time, but you didn’t care because it was just gorgeous.’

The actor, who has previously been romantically linked to Jennifer Aniston, Naomi Campbell, and Cameron Diaz, was happy to pose for photos with the group.

Dragana said the chance encounter with the actor ‘started our day amazingly.’
